A history of mapmaking and scientific invention drawn from many ages and countries, from the first crude maps to the pictures of Apollo in 1968. It is also a history of the conquest of our planet. Many of the maps reproduced here are works of superlative art and craftsmanship. The cartography of the computer records the erosion of the Sahel, the annihilation of the Amazon rain forest and the destruction of the ozone layer. Maps are no longer the private property of mariners, princes and generals. The information they provide is too valuable. Now, accurate and universal knowledge of the shape of the world has become crucial to human survival.
